The Adblock Project

Mark Spruce · Guest

I have just upgraded to the latest firefox build 1.02. And now Adblock is not working.

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.

Is there a way around it, if not I am going back to 1.01.

sorry to bother you all

Mark

I just did a fresh install of 1.0.2 and it won't let me install Adblock as being incompatible. Shock

I had no problem upgrading on XP Pro.

Hi,

Do not do a fresh install.

Re install 1.01 and then install your ad in's and install 1.02 over the top of 1.01 and it works.

I have just tried it.

I had no problem upgrading on XP Home, nor did my wife on her computer, or any of the computers at work running windows 2K. I did clean installs on some and overwrote on others.

I had the same problem, with Linux Fedora Core 3. After I upgraded to Firefox 1.0.2, Adblock was disabled as incompatible and wouldn't upgrade. I had to uninstall and reinstall Adblock to get it to work again.

This is the second time this has happened to me - I had the same problem when I upgraded from 1.0 to 1.0.1.

I just uninstalled Adblock,
restarted FF 1.0.2 and re-installed Adblock from the web site, and it worked.

I had the same problem with another extension ( ForecastFox ), hopefully I will be able to reinstall it in the same way...

One of the Mozdev mirrors might not be working properly, which could be why only some users experience problems.

you can always modify the install script to allow it... i did that when i installed firefox 1.0 because it was set to be usable only by firefox 0.9x, because there was no firefox 1.x when adblock was the last time updated

Do tell how?

I'm at my wits' end with this -I've tried all the above and still cannot install Adblock. I have it at home and it works a treat. But at work I have to endure ads!

I ran into a similar, yet fixable, problem when using Adblock with FF 1.0.2.

Adblock installs without issue for me, and it does actually work, but if I later disable it, FireFox will return the standard "incompatible" message in the extensions window and greys out the Enable option. If I then uninstall and reinstall Adblock and go through the process again, I run into the same problem. However, if I click on Update in the extensions window, the "incompatible" message disappears and the Enable option magically returns.
